“Weather Girl” by Rachel Lynn Solomon

For as long as she can remember Ari Abrams has wanted to work in weather. Thanks in large part to her hero, and now boss, Torrance Hale. Unfortunately for Ari, the only thing Torrance put her energy into these days is making her ex-husband, and their co-worker, miserable, leaving no time to mentor Ari as she had hoped would happen when she joined the Seattle news station. After a disastrous holiday party, Ari and sports anchor Russ devise a plan to make their work life less chaotic, trick Torrance and Seth into getting back together. As their secret plan unfolds with faux-double dates and Ari and Russ spend more time together real things begin to happen but will Ari be able to let him in and get to know the real Ari Abrams she keeps hidden behind a sunshine exterior. I loved this book! It has a little bit of everything we need to see in books – a smart, strong, independent female character, real bodies, messy families with healthy boundaries, real talk about mental health and so much more. I felt as if I was reading a story about everyday people, nothing too far fetched which can be really over the top in the romance genre. If you are looking for a quick, rom-com read give “Weather Girl” a try.
